Do not drink 30 minutes before or 30 minutes after meals



Recommended Posts

My surgeon said that drinking before a meal could fill your stomach up, so it would be too full for actual eating. Drinking after a meal would wash down the food in your stomach, causing you to not feel full and eat more.

One of the FEW things that every program appears to agree on! food without liquid makes you feel full longer, and feeling full is important!

30 minutes before and you be too full to eat and thirty minutes after for me (can't remember what they said) but if I try and drink right after I eat it doesn't go down. The Water has actually come right back up from a simple push if I do. I do find I feel very thirsty as I'm eating but have learned my lesson. Now if I could just eat slower I'd be in good shape!

I've eaten and/or drank too close together once or twice. It made me nauseous and gaggy.

Ha! Not quite all

Ha! Not quite all of it. My surgeon and NUT say it's ok to drink up to the time you start eating as Water passes quickly. I have do this often and it's not an issue.

Now after.....THAT is the cardinal rule! :)

My surgeon and NUT disagree on the before part. NUT said okay to drink up until the last minute before you eat, surgeon wants us to wait 30 minutes. I'm just one week one day postop but I'll see when the time comes.

I have to stop 30 minutes before and can't drink for an hour after.

I can drink right up to the point the food hits my lips. But then have to wait an hour after before any more liquids.< /p>

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
